Helenius, Moore & Anderson 11/9 Post-Game Quotes
Samuel Helenius
On his getting through his first career game in the NHL
It feels good after the game, just to get the first-game nerves gone. It feels great to come here [to the NHL].
On his getting through his first career game in the NHL
Yeah, for sure. He’s such a good player and I like to play with him. We always play well [together], I just like playing with him.
On the differences between the AHL and the NHL
The speed is pretty much the same, but the little things happen so much faster. The little things just happen much faster.
Trevor Moore
On his goal and when he knew he had the green light to go while shorthanded
I thought the guy was making like a spin-around, D-to-D pass and that’s kind of green light to go, that’s my guy anyway, so I feel like I can jump that and then Phil made a good play on it, and knocked it out of the zone, so I was kind of already on the way there, I didn’t feel like I was giving anything up.
On his goal and when he knew he had the green light to go while shorthanded
I’ll take them any way I can get them, but it feels good to see one go in and especially beating a goalie, not just hitting an empty cage, it just feels good.
On Kevin Fiala and his final 40 minutes, after the goal against in the first period
Kevin, he’s the hardest on himself and he knows and he wants to be better in those areas, but it’s one of those things, where he knows he maybe shouldn’t make that pass, but also you’ve got to let Kevin try to make plays, because it’s what makes him elite. If you want him to just chip the puck up the wall night, you’re not getting your best version of 22, so we accept it.
Mikey Anderson
On getting the bounce-back win tonight
It’s good, obviously after a loss, you want to come out with a good response. First period, we all thought was so/so but we liked it a lot better in the second, so everyone is happy to come away with two points.
On what he felt improved between the first period and the final 40 minutes
You’ve got to give them credit, I thought they did a good job kind of clogging the neutral zone. We struggled to get through it and get pucks behind them. I thought the second was a little more direct. We played a little more below their goal line, got a few o-zone shifts, but I think it was just a little cleaner from us, maybe a little simpler. That’s the recipe sometimes.
On getting two more goals from defensemen tonight, as the Kings lead the NHL
It’s good. I think our forwards help us, they get to the net hard. Even today, Eddy with a good shot, Laf with a tip, so sometimes it goes in, sometimes they tip it, get a rebound. I think they’ve done a good job creating traffic and we’re just trying to shoot, get something down there and create something for them to get grinding.
